641 
a Family of Coleopterous Insects. 
Pedes elongati ; tibiis 4 anticis tenuibus ; posticis com- 
presso-sublatioribus ad apicem paulb angustioribus. 
This species appears to be the least rare of the genus. It 
varies in size, one of the three specimens in the British Museum 
cabinet being considerably smaller than the others. The legs 
are longer and slenderer than in the majority of the species. 
The dark colour of the disk of the elytra is more suffused than 
in the next species, extending to the sides. 
The observation of Latreille upon this species, (the name of 
which he has unnecessarily altered to ‘ trigonicornis ,’) “ P. li- 
neato proximus et fortk varietas elytris latihs nigris,” appears to 
me to be incorrect, that species belonging, as I imagine, to the 
second section, and in structure being nearly allied to P. affinis 
and Hardwickii.
